Cryptocat is secure, but...

We have to take into account that, although Cryptocat makes your messages almost invulnerable, it doesn't do miracles. In other words, it doesn't prevent your messages from being traced, neither does it prevent you from being the victim of keyloggers on your computer or that you talk to people with evil intentions, therefore, your security will ultimately depend on you.
